pacamaro Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 (edited) Hey everybody, I'm Tony. I'm 18 and am completely obsessed with my SS. I met a couple of the "supporting members" at the 2007 GM nationals and found out about this site, I've now been a member for almost a year now. After I spoke to these guys, I became hooked on finding an SS of my own. I searched the web for almost 3 months. Meanwhile, my Dad's best friend (who had currently owned one) heard of my search and decieded to sell me his. He purchased it brand new in 2003, ordered every option, and it had been garage kept and detailed weekly. This guy has had a car collection over the past 40+ years that could put the Petersen Auto museum to shame, so I knew it was worth buying. I bought the 03' in September 2007 and have been overjoyed since (minus the price of Ultra 93 ) I saw this post so I figured I would introduce myself to everyone. I joined this site mainly for advice and guidance while I customize my truck. So far I have done some pretty basic mods: ~K&N Cold Air kit ~SuperChip's Programer ~Billet Bowtie ~Billet SS Hitch Plug ~"Fire & Ice" Led Bar (getting that to fit with the rolled bumper cover was not easy) ~Billet door handles (handles only, not the surrounds) ~Painted Calipers Red with SS emblems ~SSBC 14" Rotor upgrade kit (front & rear) ~Replaced factory muffler with Magnaflow Race resonators (Sounds Awesome!) Coming soon: ~Billet Grilles ~Blacked out tail & 3rd brake lights ~Either 22"s or powder coating factory rims black ~Speedstur tonneau cover ~LS6 Top end conversion kit So, basically I'm an 18 year old kid that just graduated High School and I'm living almost broke to support my hobby- hahaha. When I drive down the street get looks from some of the hottest chick's I've ever seen, IT'S WORTH IT! Thanks for letting me introduce myself and I hope to get to know most of you guys better in the future! Thanks, TONY (BTW, if anyone knows of cheap things to do to my truck that would make more HP or make it look cooler etc... I would greatly appriciate it) SS4LIFE!

BlackSS04 Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 welcome, and good luck with your future mods. and yes, the sss will attract alot of snatch. my advice is to get they're digits right there on the road, its worked for me a couple of times. and a custom tune is alot better than a handheld programer.
